86'd From the Poly? No worries-bring us Margarita's & Wiener Salad! A TFW Meet Aug 08

[Muffinygood]

No, I'm all booked, but it was PRICEY. I went in December for 97 per person round trip!

Airfare prices perplex me. We live near a large hub and it STILL costs a fortune usually to go anywhere!

Us too. I booked in Feb last year and got $117 RT from Philly to Orlando. This year couldn't get leass than $200. HAven't checked yet, but I am sure they have gone up becasue all the airlines are startin to add a fuel cost

BTW - What day are you getting into Pop?

 

[puggymom]

Air fare prices are getting scarey I won't see 132 or 152 roundtrip again

Stupid oil

 

[Muffinygood]

What confuses me is this: How come they are adding the fuel charge NOW? I mean, haven't they been forcasting this oil/gas price issue for like 2 years now? They could have added it in small increments over the last 2 years instead of raising them all at once!

But, I totally don't get big business!




We are arriving at PoP on Aug 22. I have never stayed there. Since it's just the DH and myself, I am not too worried about the usual things...pools, entertainment for kiddos, variety at the buffet, size of rooms....etc.

I just want a clean (bug free please) bed, a toilet that works and somewhere to get a glass of wine at the end of a day.

I'm easy!

22nd is a Friday right? We plan on being at the Pool most of the day and then we are heading to Beaches & Cream and then EPcot for the evening. Epcot has EMH that night, but I don't how late we will stay since we will be back at EPCOT the next day, hopefully at rope drop!

We loved Pop last year. I am a little leary about it this year only becasue my nephew is coming with us and I am not sure about 4 people in the room. 1 more person can make a huge diff..KWIM?

Pop century should meet those needs for ya Our family loves it there

 

[Muffinygood]

Yes, I totally KWYM. We tried to share a room with two queens last year at GF. No dice. DH and I NEVER sleep in a Queen at home (King, he's a big dude. 6 foot 5. Not "big" big but TALL) and my DS is 6 ft. 2 inches! Poor other DS was crammed on the "daybed" and we were all crammed together in the others.

Gosh. That was bad!

You mean the one you missed (yes, I remember, I did read your trippie, oh keeper of the croc exchange )

 

[jcc0621]

Welcome Back Mel!




You mean the one you missed (yes, I remember, I did read your trippie, oh keeper of the croc exchange )


Jo, what about Plaza, it's limited but the shakes are yummy. Or CP dinner, it's supposed to be good.

OK, what did I miss!

 

[Disneyland_Mama]

OK, what did I miss!

Obviously you didn't read my trip report.

 

[jcc0621]

Obviously you didn't read my trip report.

I did, but I am old..I forget

 

[Disneyland_Mama]

I did, but I am old..I forget

Perhaps we should both ask Mo, 'cause I completely forgot. All I know is I did get the croc to Margie. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it!

 

[DisneyJo]

Near the MK - How about GF Cafe? Or The Wave at CR?

Anyone know if a menu is posted anywhere for the wave?

Ok. I am going to post this here as the whole debaucle started here.

So good to see you again Mel, I'm putting you back on the ADR (well I never took you off) whether you like it or not

Jo, what about Plaza, it's limited but the shakes are yummy. Or CP dinner, it's supposed to be good.

I'll have a look, thanks


Please don't moan about flight prices or I'll have to bore you with mine again

 

[Muffinygood]

Jo, I'm sure your airfare beats ours by a mile! And thanks for "putting me back on". I can't wait to meet you guys! It's going to be so much fun.

Now, if I can just talk my mom into coming to watch the boys for those 4 days........
Yeah, I didn't do that part yet.....

Yes, thats me. I have Falaon this trip as well. Does anyone else here have a croc during this event?

Mel glad you are back.

 

[Muffinygood]

Ok, so I don't know why you guys are exchanging shoes?

Can someone tell me please?

Is it so you can wear a mis-matched pair and someone else does too?

???
